My Ride: 2004 BMW 525i, 6 Speed Manual, Premium/Sport Pkg, Xenon Adaptive Light Control
I recently traded my '04 525 for a '10 535, in the manual it mentions satellite images in the NAV. I noticed this on the BMW site when watching the videos about some of the features on the car and saw it in the brochure for the 2010 5 series. I cannot locate this functionality. I think the system in the car needs to be updated as I notice some areas which were recently updated in my area are not present in the NAV. The build date on the car is July or August if I remember, got it at the beginning of December. I wanted to check to see if anyone here has the 2010 model with NAV and has this feature before I contact the dealer. I got some different information regarding the bluetooth on the older car and one shop said it was possible and did the programming. Before getting the run around, I wanted to see if it is possible. Thanks in advance.

What version of the NAV software do you have installed and what is the build date on your car? That option is not available on my NAV although the manual has it listed.

You will need to get your sat nav upgraded to have the new satalite view I think.
My car is a May 09 build and has the older sat nav and wing mirrors.

My mirrors looks similar to the 2010 from what I can tell but the bottom portion does not look black (dim lighting in the garage) all the way across. Mine is a 07/09 build, the screen is similar to those in the 2010 brochure and has the built in hard drive and a single slot for DVD/CD. The navigation version is NA 2009-1. I'll ask my sales rep if it can be updated to the newer version without an extra cost.

Just wanted to check if you had a chance to look at the build date on your car.
